FAQ

We spent nearly three years working through seemingly a galactic amount of formulations on our journey to find the perfect balance of sweetness to luscious chocolate flavor, without the sugar.

We eventually figured out a way to include all of the good stuff, without any of the bad stuff.

Nebula chocolate bars are sweetened with a blend of Monk Fruit and Allulose. Monk Fruit is a natural, zero calorie sweetener native to Southeast Asia and derives its sweetness from its antioxidants, which can make it over 100x sweeter than regular sugar. Allulose is a natural ‘sugar’ found in things like figs and raisins. Allulose has the same chemical formula but is structured differently, preventing your body from processing it, and as a result has almost no calories, does not impact blood sugar or increases insulin levels. 

At Nebula we are committed to never using any added sugars, artificial ingredients or sugar alcohols to sweeten our snacks!

Nebula chocolate does not contain sugar alcohols (including erythritol - our monk fruit does not include erythritol as filler). 

Sugar alcohols are often used in the food industry to push down the net carb count. We think that this comes at way too high a cost to our bodies and we want Nebula chocolate to be tummy friendly!

Our galactic promise to you is delicious chocolate with no artificial sweeteners, added sugar or sugar alcohols.

Yes. Nebula Chocolate is perfect for anyone on a ketogenic diet or on a low carb diet.

Each chocolate bite chocolate has a maximum of 1g net carbs!

Not all carbs are created equal. Fiber and (most) natural sweeteners don’t affect your blood sugar, so they’re stripped out to get “net carbs,” which you can think of as the active carbs that affect your body.

Our dark chocolate, for example = total carbs (14g)  - natural sweeteners (10g)  - fiber (3g)= 1g net carbs.

YES! Nebula chocolate is a great snack option for those with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes!

Sweetened naturally with allulose and monk fruit, which are blood glucose friendly.

Yes! Nebula Double Chocolate Crunch Bites and the Zero Sugar Added Dark Chocolate Baking Chips are 100% Dairy Free and Vegan!

At this time, the Red Razz Chocolate Bites and & Buttery Pecan Chocolate Bites use non-GMO milk powder as part of their creamy core filling!

No. While the ingredients in our vegan products are not made from animals or animal by-products, nor are they tested on animals, they are manufactured in a facility that also makes milk chocolate products. The line is completely cleaned after runs of dark chocolate and milk chocolate, but we cannot promise that our vegan treats are 100% free of any milk proteins.

Absolutely! And since it tastes just like their favorite “unhealthy” chocolate, they’ll love eating this instead of other “healthy” chocolate.

Right now we are limited to the Red Razz, Double Chocolate Crunch and Buttery Pecan Bites, but send us all of your flavor requests to greetings@nebulasnacks.com as we are always thinking of our next flavors!
